We Teach Who We Area
If you ask a child what they want to be when they grow up the answer is
never "loved" or "happy" or "peaceful." We put a lot of weight on
success, on setting goals and reaching them. And we quantify those
accomplishments. How much did you get done today? What is your salary?
How big is your house? Even our connections today are quantifiable. You
have 500 friends on social media. You scroll through their posts,
briefly acknowledging some with a click. How often do we consider the
impact of the singular things in our life? It takes more than a moment
to truly appreciate the special people around us.
